Entry Way Song Lyrics - Bright Eyes

Last Saturday 

I stood in your entry way 

A place where we used to wait 

For cars to carry us away 

Like once in this storm 

They drove me and Justin home 

The music was just being born 

It was all I was longing for 

Now I'm on a plane 

Of singing my songs again 

Oh, please don't think ill of it 

It's the reason I exist 

But you 

You're the crutch of a cripple 

You're the calm of a conscience 

You're the peace that I have found 

When all these voices talk too loud 

Well, you are quietly reassuring me 

With the hands of a healer 

And the tongue of a teacher 

its your voice that I have known 

To be the first one on the phone 

Yeah, you ran all the lights to the hospital 

So don't you say to me 

That life's a trap 

The future is nothing but a tragedy 

'cause I'll be out of that window 

Yeah, I'll start wishing to die again 

Just say we're not walking backwards, kid 

And show me to the door 

And I'll walk behind 

Out into the hot sunlight 

Where the world's very much alive 

Even when I close my eyes 

Well, should I admit 

That my promise is counterfeit 

That I'm careless and childish 

And that's all I can hope to be 

And would you concede 

That I think only of myself 

I refuse everybody's help 

Who has been reaching out for me 

Well, you reach with the soul of a sailor 

And the swing of a miner 

You have cleared the rock away 

Leaving gold there in its place 

And it is more than anyone could claim 

Oh, with the sense of a banker 

And with the touch of a tailor 

You saved this life for me 

And you have sown it to beauty 

And I am grateful now and I will always be 

So would you sing with me 

The song is all I know 

Some truths are told now only in a melody 

So I've been writing a new one 

Yeah, I've been taking my time with it 

It's gonna be so perfect 

It's gonna hold all of us inside of it 

You will see 

If you just add your harmony 

I think it would be complete 

And be worthy of singing 

Becomes a symphony
